MOK COFFEE — Restaurant in Leuven

Great coffee and nice vibes. I like to say I know the owner on a personal coffee aficionado level and he is very passionate. You won't find any syrups or spices mixed in and the tables are void of any sugar or milk so as not to let you ruin good coffee.

Revisiting Leuven is always fun for me, so I can explore places that have changed over the years. I went to high school next door and went for a visit, when I came across MOK.

Their coffee is definitely of a decent quality and it tasted great. I also had a croissant, which was fresh, crunchy and flaky. The staff member was super friendly and talkative. I also got to use their wifi while I was there.

Lovely spot to grab a coffee and...
